Wrong kmac bushes?

Did i get the wrong bushes? These are 75mm wide and the max width in the subframe is about 62mm wide.

I have a 2011 E350 4matic wagon.

I have no idea about kmac bushings but looking at your photo I see a gap there. Then I searched around for other photos of them installed and dont see a gap. Are they two pieces you push in from each side? Are they pressed in all the way?

heres the thread i found on it: https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-c63s-...w205-c63s.html

Yes, there are two poly bushes you push in from each side.

I ran Kmac bushes for a few years on our W124 to correct camber issues with lowering springs but switched back to stock configuration after retiring the car from rallying due to the annoying squeak (and harsh ride, but that was the H&R’s). These were red poly, so don’t know if the current product is still noisy?

That stinx. Do they have part #'s stamped on them anywhere you could have matched up prior to installing to make sure they were the right ones?

When I get parts especially from FCP I make sure to go thru everything and make sure I was sent the right parts. Not picking on FCP but they dont seem to include packing slips with what is in the shipment and did have two mix-ups so far.

It does stink. Unlike fcp, kmac is far away so it's going to take a while to get the correct parts.

Kevin, has sent out the correct kit for my car, so I have a set of kmac bushes that will fit the following cars:
W212 E200-550, E63, 65/S AMG OR C218 CLS 250-550, 63/65 AMG.
I'm thinking $150 . Let me know if you're interested.
